David
wrote, "The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have
pleasure therein" (Psalm 111:2). Truly the works of the Lord are great and it
would do us well to survey them! Have you searched them and pondered over them
lately? You must in order to enjoy them.
Have
you considered His creation? David wrote, "The heavens declare the glory
of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech,
and night unto night sheweth knowledge" (Psalm 19:1-2). Take the time to view a
beautiful sunset, a starry night, or a single flower.
Have you considered His Word? Psalm 19:7 states
that "God's Law is perfect, converting the soul." Take the time to study and
apply His Word to your life (II Timothy 2:15).
Have you considered His salvation?
John the Immerser said of Jesus, "Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away
the sin of the world" (John 1:29). The only way to the Father is through the
Son (John 3:16; 14:6).
Have
you considered His church? Jesus said, "And upon this rock I will build
my church" (Matthew 16:18). Jesus purchased the church with His blood (Acts
20:28). God adds those who are born again to the church (John 3:1ff; Acts
2:47). Are you in the church that Jesus built?
Have
you considered His promises? God is not forgetful nor is His powerless
to fulfill His promises (II Peter 3:9). He has promised eternal life to all
those who obey Him (I John 2:24-25). Have you obeyed the Gospel of Jesus
Christ?
